The Gilded City

A Gilded Age city builder

The Gilded City is a PC city-building simulation set in the rapidly changing cities of 19th-century America. You begin with a small village and guide its growth into an industrial metropolis, shaping its roads, parcels, infrastructure and economy along the way.

Roads and development

The city isn’t laid out on a fixed grid. You design roads and parcels in a free-form layout, then build infrastructure to move people, goods and capital. Developers and tycoons can invest in the city, but they decide what to construct based on the conditions you create. That can mean new homes, factories and businesses, or you can keep developers out to preserve a quieter, more compact city.
